Move goal decreasing

My move goal is set to 400 calories. I recently hit 425 calories (closed the move ring). It was updated on my watch and iPhone. I looked at my watch again, about an hour later, and my move calories were only at 300 and my ring was no longer closed. Is there a reason for this? The only thing I can think of is that I had started a 10 min yoga workout using the workout app but forgot to “end” the workout for 30 mins? I turned my watch and iPhone off and on to see if the calories would correct themselves but they did not.

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
